O'Connell Street Lamppost

O'Connell Street Lamppost in the DOS version.

“Although the symbol for Ireland worldwide is the Irish Harp, in people's hearts the Shamrock represents Ireland just as well. Actually a cloverleaf, a shamrock is an emerald-green plant, its three leaflets in a group. Searching for an unusual four-leaf clover to bring good luck is a popular children's game. The "wearing of the green," an Irish tradition both in Ireland and in America, comes from the practice of putting a shamrock in an empty buttonhole.”

—Pamphlet, Mario is Missing! (PC)
